Using AWS as their cloud provider and training partner respectively, Amazon (AMZN, Financials) and Anthropic are extending their strategic partnership.

Chips from AWS Trainium and Inferentia will enable Anthropic to create its future foundation models.

This stronger closeness after Amazon's September 2023 acquisition announcement and $4 billion Anthropic investment points to Anthropic's Claude family artificial intelligence models were included to Amazon Bedrock in April and are popular and encourage long-term cooperation.

Furthermore planned are improvements in AWS Trainium hardware and software by AWS and Anthropic Early access to fine-tuning datasets using Anthropic models—unique to Amazon Bedrock for a limited period on the most recent Claude models—will benefit AWS users.

Haiku and Sonnet on Amazon Bedrock are part of the Claude 3.5 model family from Anthropic. One of enhanced agentic traits is better computer use. Agentic coding contests exceed anthropic claims in publicly available models by Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

Generative artificial intelligence workloads have been migrated to AWS by Pfizer (PFE, Financials), Siemens (SIEGY, Financials), DoorDash (DASH, Financials), and Moody's (MCO, Financials) using Anthropic's customer service, coding, and drug research tools. For these models, Amazon Bedrock—AWS' managed service—offers reliability, security, and customizing.

Amazon's commitment to artificial intelligence and AWS enhancements helps to support its position in the cutthroat markets for cloud computing and AI.
